I gotta say, though I'm no lawyer, perhaps if the defendant had showed up, they could have at least pleaded some case. I'm looking up some anti-circumvention stuff, and for the most part, it talks about removing locks and copy-protection and whatnot, but doesn't mention anything about connecting to a different IP address other than the one of the original copyright holder. It seems that they could be able to argue that not every 17K registered user is an anti-circumvention charge against them since the only thing each player needs is a new client, whereas all the real work goes into developing the server source code.
